Sophomore Kallie Case's grand slam, just her second home run of the season, brought Alabama back from a three-run deficit and gave the Crimson Tide a 6-5 lead in the fifth inning. The advantage lasted until the sixth, as Natalie Fleming's two-run double ultimately served as the game-winning hit.

Traina went the distance but was uncharacteristically roughed up on a night in which she vied for her 100th career win. She allowed 10 hits and all eight of the runs she surrendered were earned.

Missouri hit home runs off Traina in the third and fourth innings to wipe away an early 2-0 Alabama lead.

Alabama center fielder Haylie McCleney led off the game with a home run, her ninth of the year.
